Good Evening and Salam Sejahtera.

Arrived Sandakan in one piece around 1.30PM. Nice view during flight. I saw the peak of Mount Kinabalu on my way here. No picture was taken as I did not have any DigiCam. Hand-phone is prohibited in any aircraft during flight. Pictures are not possible. Nevertheless, the fantastic view is mine to keep.

On my way to Hotel Sandakan (it is Friday and the person who is supposed to fetch me is having his business in the Mosque). Well no worries, I can be on my own. Ny next best option is the cab. RM22 was paid (coupon system) to get my ass to Hotel Sandakan, the best place in town, access to food, entertainment and all my daily needs is easy.

Let us start with my story, the Crazy Taxi of Sandakan. He is quite old and short. He talks a lot and curses all the time. I care not about that, as I am of his type too. The road in Sandakan is quite funny, closure and detour are normal here. So he took the one which was going to the right direction, yesterday. Yep, it was like that yesterday. But today, the road has turn into 2 lanes instead of one. Instead of using the road with right direction, he insisted on using that road.

This would be the end of me. I asked him to turn around and use the other road on our left, which is separated by a large drain. It is not that hard, just make one big u-turn. He did not listen. He kept of driving as if nothing wrong had happened. Oh God. Burn me not in hell for being a big sinner as the lorry came toward us. Yes, one big lorry with full load of timber. Hahaha. Please u-turn and use the right road, I begged him. He simply said “I have opened the light. Don’t worry”. Fuct, deep in my heart I said. And the lorry avoid us. Phew!! I live another day.

I saw one big roundabout in front, finally, the taxi re-enter the road with the right direction. I kept quite after that. Never to utter any words and leave the cab without saying thanks as I enter the hotel. I live today and shall remember this day as a hint from me God the Almighty.

How crazy is that? If anything happen to me, OUM would lost the best Librarian in town. Har Har Har. That’s merely a joke for motivating me. Seriously, if the lorry ran into us, today, would be the last day of my life. Thanks, for giving me another chance.

Take Care
